The holiday season is not a specific place. It is a different kind of time, a different quality of space. It changes the way we live: it slows gestures down, amplifies light, and makes the home more open to encounters.<\/p>\n

It is in this suspended time that architecture reveals its deepest ability: to welcome without imposing, to adapt to context without renouncing a vision. A quality we find in the projects collected in Domus Anthology Volume II<\/em>, the new digital catalogue<\/a> presenting an international selection of architectures where we are interpreted with design freedom, attention to people, and respect for the spirit of place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What emerges is a geography of atmospheres: different contexts, different cultures, different habits. And one constant: the kitchen as a relational space, able to tune into the genius loci<\/em> without losing its identity.<\/p>\n

During the festive season, this dialogue becomes even more evident. Because there is no single way to live it: some move through it in the silence of the mountains, some in the rhythm of the city, some in the open light of the sea. In Domus Anthology Volume II,<\/em> this journey takes shape through many projects, suggesting different ways of inhabiting the same special time.<\/p>\n

Time of waiting among mountain woods – San Cassiano Val Badia<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the mountains, time changes consistency. Sounds soften, the gaze focuses, and the home becomes a filter between inside and out. In San Cassiano, Val Badia, this project interprets Alpine living with restraint and precision, letting the landscape set the pace.<\/p>\n

Large glazed openings dissolve the boundary with the forest, while wood\u2014deeply rooted in local culture\u2014becomes the weave of the interiors. A window overlooking an old manger introduces a silent dialogue with the surrounding nature, made of discreet presences and slow rhythms.<\/p>\n

In this context, our kitchen, with the Genius Loci<\/strong> <\/a>project, fits in without overlapping. It does not seek protagonism, but precision. Fine materials and details\u2014such as the Distressed Brass\u00a0<\/strong>tilted drawer\u2014add depth, while the equipped back section<\/strong> with sliding door allows the space to be modulated: fully operational when the home comes alive, essential and orderly when the gesture is complete.<\/p>\n

It is a kitchen designed for the moments of waiting and sharing typical of the holiday season: an open, fluid space that allows us to prepare, welcome, and stay together, without ever losing balance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Special moments between art and precious details in the city – Shanghai<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In major cities, the festive season takes on a particular intensity. It does not slow the rhythm down\u2014it concentrates it. In Shanghai, this project interprets living as an immersive experience, where architecture and art engage in continuous dialogue. Kingdom Villa is conceived as a private gallery to be lived every day.<\/p>\n

In this setting, our kitchen takes on a central role, as happens at the heart of urban festivities: a space that must be impeccable, yet ready to welcome. The Air Logica Special Element<\/strong> <\/a>makes it possible to reveal or conceal functions with a fluid gesture, maintaining order and visual continuity.<\/p>\n

The detail that makes the difference is the Genius Loci drawer<\/strong>, decorated with a pyramidal motif carved into the wood: a handcrafted sign that introduces a tactile, precious dimension, in tune with the works of art that inhabit the home and shape its visual rhythm.<\/p>\n

Here, the holiday season becomes a moment of relationship: a dinner that turns into conversation, a space that offers itself as a shared setting. In the heart of the city, the kitchen becomes the place where architecture, art, and everyday life find a harmonious and intense balance.<\/p>\n

Winter festivities by the sea – Sarasota Florida<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For many, imagining the festive season by the sea is a desire. In Florida, winter is light and horizon\u2014a change of perspective that transforms the way we are together. In Sarasota, in the San Remo Estates enclave, the villa once owned by Stu Cook interprets this imagery through an open, fluid modernist language.<\/p>\n

The outdoor area with travertine pool, spa set in greenery, and private dock anticipates the idea of a home without sharp thresholds, where inside and outside are in constant dialogue. A double-height glazed wall floods the living space overlooking the bay with light, while light materials and sculptural details create a refined yet informal balance.<\/p>\n

In this scenario, the Artematica<\/strong> kitchen with New Logica<\/strong><\/a> becomes the natural hub of the festive season. Glass and natural stone surfaces amplify brightness; a palette dominated by white returns visual continuity and lightness. New Logica, with its fluid movement, allows us to reveal or conceal the kitchen\u2019s operational area, adapting it to different moments of the day and of gathering.<\/p>\n

The island with the Floating breakfast bar<\/strong><\/a> is a spontaneous invitation to conviviality: a place where the gesture of preparing intertwines with that of raising a glass, where a conversation can begin in the kitchen and continue on the terrace, with our gaze drifting over the bay. Here too, the festive season is not decoration, but a way of inhabiting space.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Three settings, three ways of living the holiday season, one design vision. Our kitchens are born from listening to the place and to those who live there: that is why we can shift landscapes without losing coherence.<\/p>\n

During the festive season, this approach becomes even more evident. Because the kitchen is not only a functional space, but a setting in which time expands, relationships intensify, and architecture discreetly accompanies the pleasure of being together.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":29553,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[14],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nKitchen in holiday season: three ways to enjoy the space<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The holiday season is not a specific place.
